October is National Farm to School Month!Ā šŸŒ±
Farm to School Month celebrates the connection between students, schools, local farms, and the food on our plates. Itā€™s a great time to learn more about where our food comes from and appreciate the farmers and producers who help put fresh food on our tables.
This fall, take a moment to look at your plate and think about where your food began! šŸ‚šŸ„•šŸŽ
